Cesarine: Small group Pasta and Tiramisu class in Parma

What can I say? Mauro and Natalia are the most delightful and magnificent hosts! They patiently showed me how to make perfect tortelli, tagliatelle and tiramisu, all of which were beyond scrumptious. Mauro has an amazing collection of wines in his cellar, and he even makes his own liqueur. Did I mention he has a coal burning oven where he makes his own focaccia? What more can anyone ask for. At the end of the evening I was so full I could barely move, but didn't want to miss out on anything. Apart from learning how to make these delicious dishes, the best part of the evening was getting to know this lovely and welcoming couple. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting the Parma area.

Christina is a generous personality who enjoys sharing her experience and knowledge with others. After having us decide who would take notes (Fred) and who would participate in the hands-on class (Yukari), Christina quickly got to work. She demonstrated for Yukari every step in the process of making the regional pasta specialty, Tortelli, Parmesan Soufflé and Tiramisu and had Yukari execute the steps in parallel. Cristina interleaved the steps of the three dishes to save time, just as anyone at home would do. She moves with efficiency and precision. Cristina even made micro-pizzas on toast as antipasti. Then we got to eat the creations for lunch with a glass of wine! We enjoyed our time with Cristina very much. The class was very informative and a lot of fun. We highly recommend this class with Cristina.

This was a great experience! Cristina makes you feel at home. Cristina really loves what she does and puts her heart into everything she cooks. The ambience of cooking with family and having a family meal on their home was something to remember.

Had an amazing experience with Christina! I signed up alone and was delighted to be joined by a lovely couple! Loved learning cooking techniques from Christina, unbelievable passion and knowledge of local ingredients and cuisine! Definitely a highlight of my trip to Parma! Thank you Enzo and Christina for welcoming me into your beautiful kitchen and home!!

This was the highlight of our entire 4 weeks in Italy. It was such an authentic way to get to know Italy and Parma. Mauro had such joy when cooking and teaching people how to cook. To top it off the food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend to anyone - a must do.

The hospitality of Christina and Enzo was both authentic and heartwarming. We enjoyed the conversations during the food prep which used only the finest and freshest ingredients! We enjoyed learning from Christina about her craft, at which she is masterful! We enjoyed the banter with Enzo, but most of all, we enjoyed the most amazing meal from Parma.

Christina (and Enzo) were fabulous hosts and teacher of Italian cooking and eating. This was one of the highlight of our trip. Would definitely recommend to any and all. We loved our evening.

We we’re welcomed into their home as if we were long time friends. Christine and Enzo were warm and enthusiastic. Enzo gave us a tour of their incredible garden. The food was marvelous, the atmosphere homey and the company fantastic!

Our host was exceptional!! Lisa & Max made our anniversary so incredible- it really felt like we were going over to a dear friend’s home for dinner. I highly recommend booking this experience!

My husband and I had such an amazing experience with Cristina. She was so warm and welcoming and opened her home to us! Cooking with her in Parma in her kitchen was so very special. It took me back to my grandmother's kitchen. Food was amazing and the company was equally as great! I highly recommend to anyone visiting Parma and wants to learn how to cook an authentic Northern Italian meal!
